I’m blaming Kottke for making/letting me listen to Cher, Madonna and Jojo this afternoon.

Commenting on Sasha Frere-Jones’s New Yorker article on Auto-Tune, Jason created a muxtape filled to the brim with Auto-Tune hits.

On a side note: Regardless of how many times as I hear Lil’ Wayne’s “Lollipop,” I continue to be totally confused by the metaphor (catachresis?) of “lick the wrapper.” While there are many possible definitions of what the metaphor implies (the rapper himself, a condom, the packaging of cocaine), it’s the other component that I don’t get. Who has ever literally licked a lollipop wrapper?
